Blueberry Promotion, Research, and 

Information Order; Increase 

Membership 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule adds two importer 

members and their alternates to the U.S. 

Highbush Blueberry Council (Council) 

to reflect changes in the quantity of 

highbush blueberry imports in the past 

three years. The change was proposed 

by the Council in accordance with the 

provisions of the Blueberry Promotion, 

Research, and Information Order (Order) 

which is authorized by the Commodity 

Promotion, Research, and Information 

Act of 1996 (Act). The Order requires 

that the Council review the geographical 

distribution of the United States 

production and the quantity of imports 

of highbush blueberries at least every 

five years. As a result of these changes, 

the total Council membership will 

increase from 14 to 16 members and 

their alternates. In addition, this rule 

increases the quorum minimum from 

seven to nine members. 

DATES: Effective Date: June 4, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

is issued under the Blueberry 

Promotion, Research, and Information 

Order [7 CFR part 1218]. The Order is 

authorized under the Commodity 

Promotion, Research, and Information 

Act of 1996 (Act) [7 U.S.C. 7411–7425]. 

Executive Order 12866 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has waived the review process 

required by Executive Order 12866 for 

this action. 

Executive Order 12988 

This rule has been reviewed under 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. The rule is not intended to have 

retroactive effect. Section 524 of the Act 

provides that the Act shall not affect or 

preempt any other State or Federal law 

authorizing promotion or research 

relating to an agricultural commodity. 

The Act provides that any person 

subject to an order may file a written 

petition with the Department if they 

believe that the order, any provision of 

the order, or any obligation imposed in 

connection with the order, is not 

established in accordance with law. In 

any petition, the person may request a 

modification of the order or an 

exemption from the order. The 

petitioner is afforded the opportunity 

for a hearing on the petition. After a 

hearing, the Department would rule on 

the petition. The Act provides that the 

district court of the United States in any 

district in which the petitioner resides 

or conducts business shall have the 

jurisdiction to review the Department’s 

ruling on the petition, provided a 

complaint is filed not later than 20 days 

after the date of the entry of the ruling. 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis and 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

In accordance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) [5 U.S.C. 601– 

612], AMS has considered the economic 

impact of this action on the small 

producers, first handlers, importers, and 

exporters that would be affected by this 

rule. The purpose of the RFA is to fit 

regulatory action to scale on businesses 

subject to such action so that small 

businesses will not be 

disproportionately burdened. 

The Small Business Administration 

defines, in 13 CFR part 121, small 

agricultural producers as those having 

annual receipts of no more than 

$750,000 and small agricultural service 

firms as those having annual receipts of 

no more than $7 million. There are 

approximately 2,000 producers, 200 first 

handlers, 50 importers, and 4 exporters 

of highbush blueberries subject to the 

program. Most of the producers will be 

classified as small businesses under the 

criteria established by the Small 

Business Administration. Most 

importers, first handlers, and exporters 

will not be classified as small 

businesses. Producers who produce less 

than 2,000 pounds of highbush 

blueberries annually are exempt from 

this program. Importers who import less 

than 2,000 pounds of fresh and frozen 

highbush blueberries annually are also 

exempt from this program. 

The Department’s National 

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 

data for the 2008 crop year shows that 

about 5,790 pounds of highbush 

blueberries were produced per acre. The 

2008 average grower price for highbush 

blueberries published by NASS was 

$1.54 per pound. Thus, the value of 

highbush blueberry production per acre 

in 2008 averaged about $8,917 (5,790 

pounds multiplied by $1.54). At that 

average value, a producer would have to 

farm over 84 acres to receive an annual 

income from highbush blueberries of 

$750,000 ($750,000 divided by $8,916 

per acre equals 84). Accordingly, as 

previously noted, a majority of the 

producers of highbush blueberries will 

be classified as small businesses. 

According to the Council, assessments 

received in 2008 reached $2.4 million. 

Of the total, the Council received 

$830,222 from import assessment 

collections which is approximately 35 

percent of the Council’s total budget. 

For 2009, the Council received $3.03 

million from assessment collections. Of 

the total, the Council received 

approximately $1 million from import 

assessment collections which is 

approximately 34 percent of the 

Council’s total budget. The Council 

projected import assessment collections 

at $1 million for the 2010 budget year. 

According to the Council’s World 

Blueberry Acreage and Production 

Report, highbush blueberry acreage in 

North America increased from 71,075 

acres in 2005 to an estimated 95,607 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
31280 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 106 / Thursday, June 3, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

acres in 2008, a 35 percent increase in 

just three years. The United States’ 

share of this total increased from 56,665 

acres in 2005 to 74,992 acres in 2008, 

a 32 percent increase. Most of this 

acreage growth is coming from the 

higher yielding western and southern 

states. Highbush blueberry production 

volume is expected to increase 

significantly from these regions in the 

coming years. 

In 2008, the United States exported 

13,791 metric tons of fresh highbush 

blueberries worth over $69 million. 

Canada is the principal destination for 

United States exports—accounting for 

nearly 84 percent of the total in 2008. 

Other key markets included the United 

Kingdom at 7 percent and Japan at 6 

percent of the total. Most of the 

remaining 3 percent of the United States 

exports were to Asian countries. 

The United States exports of frozen 

highbush blueberries totaled 5,785 

metric tons in 2008 and were valued at 

over $17 million. The largest United 

States export market for frozen highbush 

blueberries is Canada which accounted 

for 47 percent of the total quantity 

exported in 2008. Japan was the second 

largest United States market accounting 

for 39 percent. Most of the remaining 14 

percent of United States exports were 

sent to other Asian, United Kingdom, 

and European countries. 

In 2008, the United States imported 

45,105 metric tons of fresh highbush 

blueberries worth over $229 million. 

The largest imports of highbush 

blueberries came from Chile which 

accounted for 61 percent of the total in 

2008. Other major suppliers of fresh 

highbush blueberries were Canada at 19 

percent and Argentina at 17 percent of 

the total. The remaining 3 percent of 

imported highbush blueberries came 

from New Zealand and Uruguay. 

The United States imports of frozen 

highbush blueberries totaled 19,152 

metric tons in 2008 and were valued at 

over $64 million. The bulk of the United 

States frozen highbush blueberries 

imports came from Canada, which 

accounted for 78 percent of the total in 

2008. Other major suppliers of frozen 

highbush blueberries were Chile with 16 

percent of the total, Argentina with 5 

percent and the Netherlands with 1 

percent. 

In the international market, highbush 

blueberry production has increased in 

Canada, Mexico, South America, 

Europe, and Asia. The highbush 

blueberry acreage worldwide has nearly 

doubled in the past five years from an 

estimated 83,299 acres in 2003 to an 

estimated 163,065 acres in 2008. Based 

on the data in the Council’s 2007–2008 

World Acreage and Production Report, 

North America represented 77 percent 

of the total worldwide highbush 

blueberry acreage in 2003 (64,360 acres), 

but just 59 percent of the estimated total 

acreage in 2008 (95,607 acres). 

Most of the worldwide growth over 

the past five years has taken place in 

South America which has increased 

acreage from an estimated 6,939 acres in 

2003 to an estimated 39,703 acres in 

2008, a nearly sixfold increase with the 

largest growth in Chile and Argentina. 

Most of the growth in European 

production, which has increased from 

8,978 acres in 2003 to 18,038 in 2008, 

has taken place in Spain, Germany, and 

Poland. Asian highbush blueberry 

production has increased during this 

five-year period from 2,372 acres to 

7,870 acres with most of the growth 

taking place in China and to a lesser 

extent Japan. Acreage in Australia and 

New Zealand has not significantly 

increased during this period. 

Given worldwide acreage estimates, 

projections show that given optimal 

conditions with no crop losses or 

disruptions, total worldwide highbush 

blueberry production has the potential 

to increase from an estimated 606 

million pounds in 2008 to an estimated 

1.5 billion pounds by the year 2015, 

more than two times the current level of 

production in the next seven years. This 

total does not include lowbush (wild) 

blueberry production, which at the 

current time averages around 200 

million pounds per year. These 

projections are considered optimal 

forecasts and are based on the potential 

of what has been planted to date as well 

as upon assumptions of favorable crop 

years in all international highbush 

blueberry growing regions. During this 

period, North American highbush 

blueberry production is estimated to 

increase from 407 million pounds in 

2008 to 890 million pounds by the year 

2015, more than two times the current 

level of production. 

Section 1218.40(b) of the Order 

requires that the Council review the 

geographical distribution of United 

States production of highbush 

blueberries and the quantity of imports 

at least once every five years. Based on 

this review, on August 13, 2009, the 

Council voted by electronic mail (email) to add two importer members and 

their alternates to the Council. The vote 

to recommend two additional importers 

and their alternates was based on a 

three-year average production and 

imports data. Nine out of the ten 

Council members who voted were in 

support of adding these additional 

members. 

The Council consists of a total of 14 

members which includes 10 producers, 

1 importer, 1 exporter from a foreign 

production area, 1 handler, and 1 public 

member. Each member has an alternate. 

The 10 producer members are allocated 

as follows: one producer member from 

each of the four regions and one 

producer member from each of the six 

top producing States. The regions are 

Western, Midwest, Northeast, and 

Southern. The top-producing States are 

Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, North 

Carolina, Oregon, and Washington. 

In 2006, the Council collected 

assessments on 360,467 million pounds 

of highbush blueberries. The domestic 

production of highbush blueberries in 

the United States was 268,800 million 

pounds which was 75 percent of the 

total assessments collected by the 

Council. Imports of highbush 

blueberries came in at 91,667 million 

pounds which represented 25 percent of 

the total assessments collected by the 

Council. 

The Council records show that for the 

years 2003, 2004, and 2005 the United 

States produced 189,900 million 

pounds, 209,200 million pounds, and 

246,000 million pounds of highbush 

blueberries respectively. Using this data, 

the three-year average annual highbush 

blueberries production for the United 

States totaled 215,033 million pounds 

per year (645,100 divided by 3). For this 

period, domestic production 

represented approximately 78 percent of 

the total assessments collected by the 

Council. For imports for the years 2003, 

2004, and 2005, imports were at 63,334 

million pounds, 55,000 million pounds, 

and 66,667 million pounds of highbush 

blueberries, respectively. Based on this 

data, the three-year average annual 

imports for highbush blueberries totaled 

61,667 million pounds per year (185,001 

divided by 3). Imports represented 22 

percent of the total assessments paid to 

the Council during the period of 2003 

through 2005. 

The Council reviewed the domestic 

production of highbush blueberries in 

the United States. The Council records 

show that for the years 2006, 2007, and 

2008 the United States produced 

268,800 million pounds, 281,500 

million pounds, and 335,900 million 

pounds of highbush blueberries 

respectively. Using this data, the threeyear average annual highbush 

blueberries production for the United 

States totals 295,400 million pounds per 

year (886,200 divided by 3). Based on 

this data, the domestic production 

represents 72 percent of the total 

assessments collected by the Council. 

Currently 72 percent of the Council’s 

members represent the domestic 

production. Therefore, the Council 

determined that there were no changes 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 106 / Thursday, June 3, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 31281 

required at this time for the domestic 

member positions. 

The Council’s assessment records 

show that for the years 2006, 2007, and 

2008 imports came in at 91,667 million 

pounds, 108,333 million pounds, and 

141,667 million pounds of highbush 

blueberries respectively. Based on this 

data, the three-year average annual 

imports for highbush blueberries totals 

113,889 million pounds per year 

(341,667 divided by 3). This represents 

approximately 28 percent of the total 

assessments paid to the Council. In 

contrast in 1997, imports came at 23.7 

million pounds or 12 percent of the total 

of domestic and imports. Accordingly, 

two importer and alternate seats should 

be added to the Council. The new 

Council membership distribution would 

be 10 producers, 3 importers, 1 exporter, 

1 handler, and 1 public member which 

would bring the percentage of seats for 

importers and exporters to 28 percent of 

the total seats on the Council. 

Given the adjustment in membership 

for the Council in 2006 and the changes 

herein, the minimum quorum at a 

Council meeting increases from seven to 

nine members. This would reflect that a 

majority of the 16 Council members (or 

their alternates, when appropriate) are 

present for a quorum. 

Nominations and appointments to the 

Council are conducted pursuant to 

sections 1218.40, 1218.41, and 1218.42 

of the Order. Appointments to the 

Council are made by the Secretary from 

a slate of nominated candidates. 

Pursuant to section 1218.41(d) of the 

Order, nominations for the importer, 

exporter, handler, and public member 

positions will be made by the Council. 

The nominees for the two additional 

importer and alternate positions will be 

submitted to the Secretary for 

appointment to the Council. 

In accordance with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

regulation [5 CFR part 1320] which 

implements the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 [44 U.S.C. Chapter 35], the 

background form, which represents the 

information collection and 

recordkeeping requirements that are 

imposed by the Order have been 

approved previously under OMB 

number 0505–0001. 

The Order requires that two nominees 

be submitted for each vacant position. 

With regard to information collection 

requirements, adding two importers and 

their alternates to the Council means 

that eight additional importers will be 

required to submit background forms to 

the Department in order to be 

considered for appointment to the 

Council. However, serving on the 

Council is optional, and the burden of 

submitting the background form would 

be offset by the benefits of serving on 

the Council. The estimated annual cost 

of providing the information by eight 

importers would be $33 or $4.12 per 

importer. The additional burden will be 

included in the existing information 

collection package under OMB number 

0505–0001. 

The Department has not identified 

any relevant Federal rules that 

duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this 

rule. 

Background 

The Order became effective on August 

16, 2000, and it is authorized under the 

Act. The Council is composed of 10 

producers, 1 importer, 1 exporter from 

a foreign production area, 1 handler, 

and 1 public member. Each member has 

an alternate. The 10 producer members 

are allocated as follows: one producer 

member from each of the four regions 

and one producer member for each of 

the six top producing States. The 

regions are Western, Midwest, 

Northeast, and Southern. The topproducing States that currently have 

representation on the Council are 

Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, North 

Carolina, Oregon, and Washington. The 

producer members are nominated by 

producers or producer groups. The 

importer, exporter, handler, and public 

member positions are nominated by the 

Council. 

Under the Order, the Council 

administers a nationally coordinated 

program of research, development, 

advertising, and promotion designed to 

strengthen the position of highbush 

blueberries in the marketplace, and to 

establish, maintain, and expand markets 

for highbush blueberries. This program 

is financed by assessments on producers 

growing 2,000 pounds or more of 

highbush blueberries and importers who 

import 2,000 or more pounds of 

highbush blueberries per year. The 

current assessment rate is $12 per ton 

levied on highbush blueberries 

produced within the 50 States, the 

District of Columbia, the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the 

territories and possessions of the United 

States and on imports of more than 

2,000 pounds into the United States. 

The Order specifies that handlers are 

responsible for collecting and 

submitting the producer assessments to 

the Council and maintaining records 

necessary to verify their reporting(s). 

Importers are responsible for payment of 

assessments to the Council on highbush 

blueberries imported into the United 

States through the U.S. Customs Service 

and Border Protection. Producers who 

produce less than 2,000 pounds and 

importers of less than 2,000 pounds of 

highbush blueberries annually are 

exempt from this program. 

Pursuant to section 515(b)(3) of the 

Act and section 1218.40(b) of the Order, 

at least once in each five-year period, 

the Council shall review the 

geographical distribution of United 

States production of highbush 

blueberries and the quantity of imports 

and make a recommendation to the 

Secretary to continue without change or 

make changes to the representation on 

the Council to reflect changes in the 

geographical distribution of the 

production of highbush blueberries and 

the quantity of imports. 

On August 13, 2009, the Council 

voted nine to one to increase the 

membership of the Council by adding 

two importer and alternate seats. Based 

on the Council’s assessment records for 

the years 2006, 2007, and 2008, imports 

came in at 91,667 million pounds, 

108,333 million pounds, and 141,667 

million pounds of highbush blueberries 

respectively. Based on this data, the 

three-year average annual imports for 

highbush blueberries totals 113,889 

million pounds per year (341,667 

divided by 3). This represents 

approximately 28 percent of the total 

assessments paid to the Council. In 

contrast in 1997, imports came at 23.7 

million pounds or 12 percent of the total 

of domestic and imports. Accordingly, 

two importer and alternate seats should 

be added to the Council. The new 

Council membership distribution would 

be 10 producers, 3 importers, 1 exporter, 

1 handler, and 1 public member which 

would bring the percentage of seats for 

importers and exporters to 28 percent of 

the total seats on the Council. 

This action will add to the Council 

two importers and two alternates. The 

Council will be composed of 10 

producers, three importers, one exporter 

from a foreign production area, one 

handler, and one public member. Each 

member has an alternate. The addition 

of two importers and two alternates 

allows for more importers 

representation on the Council’s decision 

making and also potentially provide an 

opportunity to increase diversity on the 

Council. 

Furthermore, this rule would make 

amendments to section 1218.40(a) of the 

Order to specify that the Council will be 

composed of 16 members and their 

alternates rather than 14. Also, this rule 

would revise section 1218.40(a)(3) of the 

Order to specify three importers and 

alternates instead of one importer and 

alternate. In addition, this rule would 

revise section 1218.45 (a) of the Order 

to increase the minimum quorum level

31282 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 106 / Thursday, June 3, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

at Council meetings from seven to nine 

members. 

Nominations and appointments to the 

Council are conducted pursuant to 

sections 1218.40, 1218.41, and 1218.42 

of the Order. Appointments to the 

Council are made by the Secretary from 

a slate of nominated candidates. 

Pursuant to section 1218.41(d) of the 

Order, nominations for the importer, 

exporter, handler, and public member 

positions are made by the Council. 

Nominations are submitted to the 

Secretary for appointment to the 

Council. 

A twenty-day comment period was 

provided to allow interested persons to 

respond to the proposal which was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 17, 2010 [75 FR 12707]. Copies 

of the rule were made available through 

the Internet by the Department and the 

Office of the Federal Register. The 

comment period ended April 6, 2010. 

No comments were received by the 

deadline. 

After consideration of all relevant 

material presented, the Council’s 

recommendation, and other 

information, it is hereby found that this 

rule is consistent with and will 

effectuate the purpose of the Act. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it is also 

found that good cause exits for not 

postponing the effective date of this 

action until one day after publication in 

the Federal Register because the 

Council’s term of office begins January 

1, 2011, and this rule will allow the 

upcoming nominations and 

appointments to be conducted in a 

timely manner for the new members to 

be appointed to the Council so they can 

begin serving during the next term of 

office.

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a 

typographical error in an existing 

airworthiness directive (AD) that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 12, 2006. The error resulted in an 

incorrect component maintenance 

manual number. This AD applies to 

certain Airbus Model A319–100, A320– 

200, A321–100, and A321–200 series 

airplanes. This AD requires repetitive 

inspections for corrosion in the inside 

and outside lower walls of each type A, 

D, E, and F lavatory wall that has at least 

one wall-mounted cabin attendant seat, 

and related investigative and corrective 

actions if necessary. 

DATES: This correction is effective June 

3, 2010. The effective date of AD 2006– 

09–11 remains June 16, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

26, 2006, the FAA issued AD 2006–09– 

11, Amendment 39–14582 (71 FR 

27595, May 12, 2006), for certain Airbus 

Model A319–100, A320–200, A321–100, 

and A321–200 series airplanes. The AD 

requires repetitive inspections for 

corrosion in the inside and outside 

lower walls of each type A, D, E, and F 

lavatory wall that has at least one wallmounted cabin attendant seat, and 

related investigative and corrective 

actions if necessary. 

As published, paragraphs (h)(1)(iii) 

and (h)(2)(ii) of the AD specifies in error 

Airbus Component Maintenance 

Manual Lavatory E 25–41–52. Airbus 

Component Maintenance Manual 

Lavatory E 25–41–52 does not exist. The 

correct Airbus Component Maintenance 

Manual Lavatory E is 25–43–52. 

No other part of the regulatory 

information has been changed; 

therefore, the final rule is not 

republished in the Federal Register. 

The effective date of this AD remains 

June 16, 2006.
